"It's like the first day of college, you're nervous, super excited. Everyone's meeting people and trying to hook up with someone."
~~ Tony Azevedo, Olympic Water Polo

"What happens at Olympic Village stays at Olympic village. There's a lot of stress pent up over the week, so it's safe to say that some good times happen."

~~ Emily Brydon, Olympic Skiing

"Olympic athletes have to display an unnatural ... level of self-discipline in the build-up to big competitions. How else is this going to manifest itself than with a volcanic release of pent-up hedonism?"

~~ Matthew Syed, Olympic Table Tennis

"Just a magical, fairy-tale place, like Alice in Wonderland, where everything is possible. You could win a gold medal and you can sleep with a really hot guy."

"Unlike at a bar, it's not awkward to strike up a conversation because you have something in common. It starts with, 'What sport do you play?' All of a sudden, you're fist-bumping."
~~ Hope Solo, Olympic Soccer

“When I’m there, I’m in two different gears. I’m so focused that I see nothing else, or I’m partying my butt off.”

~ anonymous female Olympian

"The entire women's 4x100 relay team of some Scandinavian-looking country walks out of the house, followed by boys from our side. And I'm just going, 'Holy crap, we'd watched these girls run the night before."
~~ Josh Lakatos, Olympic Target Shooter

"I am often asked if the Olympic village is the sex-fest it is cracked up to be. My answer is: too right it is. My first games was Barcelona in 1992, and I got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life up to that point."

~~ Matthew Syed, Olympic Table Tennis

"When I walked in for the first time in Atlanta, there were loud cheers. So we look over and see two French handballers dressed only in socks, shoes, jockstraps, neckties and hats on top of a dining table, feeding one another lunch. We're like, 'Holy cow, what is this place?'"
~~ Brandi Chastain, Olympic soccer

"The girls are in skimpy panties and bras, the dudes in underwear, so you see what everybody is working with from the jump. Even if their face is a 7, their body is a 20."
~~ Breaux Greer, Olympic Javelin

"As far as best bodies, it's swimmers and water polo players, because that's an insane workout. And the track guys, they're sneaky-cute. Very serious, but when they lighten up, you're like, 'Oh, you're kind of adorable.'"
~~ Alicia Sacramone, Olympic Gymnast.

"With a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you want to build memories, whether it's sexual, partying or on the field. I've seen people having sex right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty."

~~ Hope Solo, Olympic Soccer

"Olympians are adventurers. They look for a challenge, like having sex with someone who doesn't speak their language."

~~ Carrie Sheinberg, Olympic Alpine Skiing

"If I'd have known that the Olympic games were some kind of giant freakin sex party, I would have worked harder to become an athlete. Knowing that most of the athletes are hooking up with each other is going to change the way I watch the Olympic Games. Can you imagine the thrill to be had dominating a medal winner? Priceless!!!" ~~ Michael Samadhi, BDSM Master - author SpiritualBDSM.com
